My son will be here in 9 weeks..The problem is I dont kno how to tell if i'm having contractions..B/c, well..I dont kno what they feel like. They always talk about them, but no one ever tells you what they are exactly. So if someone could just fill me in on stuff like that..I'd really appreciate it. Embarassed

Hey,

well first off, congrats on your son!! You must be very excited. The contractions will depend on what type of labor you have. Example, back labor can feel like extreme back pain and regular labor feels like your stomache is tightening up. You will definitely know what it is when it happens because it is unmistakable.... Lol

email me if you want to chat. Wish you the best of luck and god bless you...

Hey u will know if you have reguler labor your tummy will get very hard where u cant indent it it does feel very uncomfortable but just breath through them and you will do just fine I have never had back labor so I cant really tell you any thing. I have been contracting for 3 days know and I have only dialated to a one so maybe your labor will be easy.


If you want to chat some time just e-mail me or im me.

Pat has serious issues! Pat you are a rude and evil person! Evil is the only word to describe you. You must have absolutley no life and no friends because you waste a lot of time talking garbage to people you do not even know! You must love us all because you hang out here more than any of us!! Laughing

stephy, good luck with the labor and your baby will be beautiful and is blessed to have a mother like you who is concerned that all goes well!

False labor contractions will just feel like your stomache tightening. It might be uncomfortable, but not necessarily painful. If it is and the pain is relieved by switching positions, more than likely it is false labor.

Real labor contractions can vary. You can start out in a lot of pain or with some mild cramping. Some will feel like mild cramping with your stomache tightening slightly. Some will feel like severe menstrual cramps and your stomache will feel very tight.

Hope that helps.
